Not a lot of anything new brought to the table in Scorsese's latest gangster film The Irishman but what he does best is clearly in this film. Scorsese is a master of presenting something that is not meant to be seen by anyone and showing it in a way that makes you feel like you are glad this is a movie or else you may be in danger of getting wacked for what you know. It's a great yarn and leaves me wondering what is truthfully what happened and what is fiction. Another thing Scorese touches on that he didn't before and it is no doubt because he is getting up there in age was just how scary your mortality can be of old age. That scene where he is counting out his daily pills kinda hit a bit too close to home as I am only in my forties and I already have to take quite a bit of medication a day and no none of it is for mental issues you smart asses . But anyway, great film and I did enjoy it. Times are changing when a great film from one of the all-time greats gets released on Netflix first. That itself kinda blew me away.

You wrote the words to me, "A LOT," in your first response to me in all caps. Look, I'm growing tired of the back and forth with you on this. You clearly don't seem to want to gain anything from the exchange as I do, so I'd just like to end it.

Hmm, just capitalizing two words does not indicate yelling. It simply is a way to accentuate a phrase. Typically when someone writes an entire sentence in caps is when it is interpreted as yelling. Just thought you should know. Have a great day!

I disagree, but anyway, you too.
